ÇAMLI (1)

Çamli Yem Besicilik was established as part of Yasar Group’s philosophy of integrating agriculture and aquaculture into one business. Covering areas from feed production, turkey and bovine breeding to fish production and processing, Çamli is now one of Turkey’s 500 leading industrial enterprises.

Çamli’s sea food plant, established in 1985 in Çeşme, near Izmir, is the pioneer of modern and integrated fish production in Turkey. It was the first plant in Aegean coastal waters and a true source of inspiration for aquaculture businesses in the entire Mediterranean area.

With a production capacity of 7.000 tons of bass and bream and 74 million fry, Çamli does not aim to be Turkey’s n° 1 producer in terms of quantity. But it does still adhere to the deeply rooted company culture of ‘being first’. Based on this pioneering attitude, Çamli has brought many innovations to Turkish aquaculture, such as the first integrated farming installation in 1985, the first fish feed production in 1987, the first off-shore cage system in 2001, the first organic feed in 2008 and the first branded farmed fish (under the Pinar Balik brand) in 2008.

With great attention to technical values, animal welfare and the environment, Çamli aims to create a competitive advantage based on information and technology.

12.000 M2 ON LAND

The land-based infrastructure for Çamli’s aquaculture division, including the hatchery facilities, are literally the cradle of Turkish aquaculture. This is where it all started over 30 years ago.

36.500 M2 ON SEA

The grow-out activities of the company are operated in a 36.500 m2 area of off-shore cage systems, typical for the coextistance of Turkish aquaculture with the growing tourism on the Aegean coast.

20+ EXPORT DESTINATIONS

Çamli exports both fry and harvested fish to worldwide export markets in Europe, the US and the Middel East. Processed, frozen and ready-to-cook seafood produce are mainly sold on the domestic market.
